How is this different from a normal reports dashboard?
A reports dashboard shows you numbers. The Action Center shows you what needs a decision — a fee defaulter past the grace period, a class with missing attendance, an exam result waiting on approval — ranked by real urgency (P0 to P4), not buried in a chart.
Does every role see the same thing?
No. A teacher sees signals scoped to their own classes and subjects; a School Admin or Coordinator sees school-wide signals grouped by domain — Setup & Onboarding, Safety & Compliance, Financial Operations, Academic Delivery, Staff Operations, Engagement & Account.
Does this work across multiple schools?
Yes — an Org Admin overseeing a school chain gets the same signals rolled up per school on one Org Dashboard, so a chairman isn't checking each campus separately.
What counts as a signal?
Only actionable items — something a real person needs to act on. Purely informational reads (like today's collection total) are deliberately excluded, so the list doesn't turn into alert fatigue.
